    Hoping I’ll wake up with my sense of taste and smell.

    Pig’s vocabulary must be improving; I’d have expected him to answer Goat’s question by saying, “Sweaty.”

    don’t we all aspire to be alive next week and the week after and the week after that, etc., etc., etc.

    Me too! Yes, it’s a messy world but there are no guarantees of reincarnation so I want to enjoy as much as I can.

    Pig’s aiming pretty low. I’m aiming to be alive and reasonable happy too.

    But think of all the happiness you could bring to the world …

    … as part of BLTs (just kidding)

    Pig sets good baseline goals.

    He’s trying to avoid going into the family business: ham, bacon, hot dogs, pork belly, jerky, pigs ear chew.

    The family members who entered the business were never the same afterwards.

    That’s our base line, Pig. Should that event occur, what else would you enjoy?

    As long as folks love pork and bacon, that’s a difficult goal, Pig.

    Its getting to where simply seeing the Covid-19 numbers drop in my home state is becoming a pipe dream until everyone gets on the same page which is unlikely to happen given who is calling the shots on the state and local level.. I hear the same sentiments from those in TX, CA and AZ along with a lot of other places which are flying under the media radar.

    Went for annual checkup the other day. Last question at check-in was: “Any change in taste or smell?” My reply: “No, I taste and smell just like I always have.” Nurse said that was the best response he had heard that day. Sad times.

    My greatest remaining aspiration is to live to 2030. That’s when things start to go bad. Very, very bad.

    Aspiration is a great thing for the spirit, but not that great for the lungs…and in Covid times, I’d worry about my lungs first.
